Black Pearl and QAR Progress

This is my version to the textures and the sails of the QAR...

Those are fantastic textures. I know I say this a lot but I think the none red areas of the hull are too dark. They're more grey than black.

Hence why I desaturate it.

That piece of masterwork is still unaviable to the public. This Dutchman was made by A.G.,member of the russian mod team, specially for the new upcoming mod for CoAS in russian named "KKC" (in transcription that means: Corsairs: to each his own). The release date is still unknown, but some members of the team mentioned the mod probably will be released this fall.

what is the difference compare to previous version? I already tried the ships in CoAS, just had to edit some ini for proper waterline (same way as for PotC)? Is it possible to use them without any futher adaptation now?
 
Although the Dutchman has the texture of better quality but the model has the advantage dutchman zarethpl and has more detail once I committed to the search for this ship and found out that it will soon be a new title Cosar where it is
sry for me english
 
I think it's still too dark, maybe somewhere in the middle of mine and yours.

Who knows if we'll ever be in agreement on the Pearl's color, but I don't wanna completely crush your vision either. So I'm gonna try layering your hull color over my hull color and trying different opacity levels. Maybe we can get a good compromise that we both like.

Here's some comparisons of the Pear's hull color:

100% 100%.jpg 0% 0%.jpg 50% 50%.jpg 25% 25%.jpg 75% 75%.jpg

Ok everyone, which one do you like best?

I know in real life the Pearl has a greyish hue when it's hit by full sunlight, but you don't see much of that in the movies, plus the grey hull looks weird in-game. And it IS the Black Pearl, not the Grey Pearl.

I like 100% and 75% best. I could (uncomfortably) do 50%. Maybe . . .

man i dont understand very well what you say cause i dont speak very well english but i tell you that the images are done on age of pirate CARIBBEAN TALES
ive tryed to modify water line on ship_init.c but no results so i changed a ships model that had -0.4 waterline with QARs model and textures
i dont play coas cause i have a verry bad video card:D :keith
 
I played around with it in the game in various weather conditions, and I'm leaning heavily towards 75%. It's light enough to get that bit of grey in the daylight that bonjourmonami likes, but dark enough to still look black like the Pearl does in the films.
 
Ok here's a test of her in-game. You can't always judge by the GM viewer because the lighting in-game is different. This looks pretty good to me. I'd still like to hear which versions people like though. 100%, 0%, 50%. 25%, or 75%?

I would say somewhere between 50% - 75% would be best. But if I had to choose one I would say 50%
 
Here's a couple screens of the Pearl in-game at 50%. I'm still thinking 75%, but I wanna see what Armada and Pieter think before I make a final decision.

Hmmm. Could try 60-65%.
 
We might finally have a winner here. This is the Pearl in-game at 63%. What do you think, BM?

[attachment=7051:63_2.jpg] [attachment=7052:63.jpg]


I think I could live with this instead of 75%. And BM said he could live with this instead of 50%. I think we finally found a nice middle-ground that we can be happy with. What say you BM?

And what does everyone else think? Like it at 63%? Or wanna see it higher or lower? Armada and Pieter, what level do you think is best?
 
Because I wanna do 75% and BM wants to do 50% and this is a nice compromise.

I know I wouldn't like it if someone took over my project and modified it without seeing what I wanted first, so I was trying to extend that courtesy to BM. But I'm also trying to listen to the other players as well as using my own judgment while keeping it as close to the film as it can possibly be. I'd also like to hear what Armada and Pieter think.
 
This model is very nice
But does anyone know where to get a construction plan of the queen annes revenge lord?

She just got built for the game, but if you want a plan anyway, here's the best I've seen of the QAR which was made by the modeler who just finished the QAR., bonjourmonami.
